Questions, hopefully they haven't been asked somewhere else...

(1) HC 7 allows you to be Level +4. Can I take level 20 and still do level 16+ adventures? Or will I be restricted to "Epic" only adventures?

(2) Are there adventures I should skip? Or at least only do on Normal/Hard? I don't plan on doing any raids. I'm on the fence about a few lower level ones where traps are an issue (even when decked out in "twink" gear). So curious what "The Collective" tends to skip or at least play on a lesser difficulty without a quality trapper.

(3) I'm following one of Strimtrom's builds. It has been working great so far. Are there any other guides that will work from Season 2? I don't see anything in this forum and I haven't checked the class forum in awhile (been mostly at work. 'tis the season and all). I don't plan on dying but neither do all the people I see over the global announcements either.

Hiya!

1) Someone else can double-check me on this, but I'm pretty confident that taking level 20 will lock you out of Heroic quests, except for the Heroic quests that have a base level of 20. So you can be a maximum of level 19 in order to do quests that are base level 15-19.

2) This spreadsheet is an amazing reference for HCL! It breaks down most of the quests in the game, and recommends which ones to skip, and also points out particularly deadly mechanics that each quest has. Remember, the main survival tool you have is quest knowledge. If you're not confident about a quest, read up on the wiki. Also, this season, you only need 3,000 favor for the rewards, so you have a LOT of flexibility for skipping quests.

3) Strimtom's builds are great! If you're looking for build guides from Season 2, they will be totally out of date by now, since the game has received lots of updates since then. If you're looking for guides for dealing with the Season 2 champions, I haven't found one yet, but would be interested to see one myself.

I hope this helps! Happy questing, and good luck!
